Chapter 780 summary
Doflamingo stands over the wounded Law at the royal palace and taunts him about Luffy's impending death while Trebol urges Law to give up. Doflamingo mocks Law's past with Corazon, calls his thirteen years meaningless, and demands that Law perform the Op-Op Fruit's immortality surgery on him in exchange for granting his wishes. Law refuses and instead demands that Doflamingo revive Corazon and apologize to Dressrosa's citizens. Doflamingo shoots Law repeatedly, and the word "Corazon" becomes visible on Law's back as he collapses. In the present, Zoro and the others prepare to move toward the palace while Viola reports that only Trebol and Doflamingo remain among the family's powerhouses. Luffy reaches the palace, confronts Doflamingo about Bellamy, and begins fighting him with a barrage of Haki-enhanced punches that Doflamingo counters with waves of string. Luffy spots Law's body and demands answers, but Doflamingo and Trebol insist Law is dead. Citizens notice the Birdcage shrinking as Doflamingo tells Luffy that the game is ending.
